Looking at him completed, one of the major eye-sores to me is actually the yellow V-fin. With this version, painting it gold too would improve it for me. Those plastic rods holding up the funnels would be replaced asap with brass or copper stilts.
@TheAnimeOverviewer can't argue that Wing's attempt at making the pilots have a harder time disabling the Serpents in EW was FAR more realistic than the freedom/justice/insert other gundam name here just flying by and either hacking off the heads of other mobile suits in a flash or just beam spamming everything til it couldn't fight back.
like i said in the other video comments, you can fix the rods by cutting off about 2 cm off of each one and by adjusting the angles a little. i had it displayed like that for some time and the dragoons never pointed down and it looked very awesome^^
But that's the best part. It already looked ott with a golden frame, adding fin detailing (which is what the Strike-based suits have come down to) to it would be overkilll.
Yes! The reason I did not get the Full Burst Mode version is because I was not sold on the the clear plastic mounting "pipe" display system for the Dragoons. The holders for the Dragoons are at the wrong height! They need to be at shoulder level or slightly higher. And as you point out in this video, the pipes have drooping problems due to their inadequate construction.
hi robert with regards to the wing section mechanism can i ask how it was assembled? the one with the male peg which hold the wings in full burst mode. is it the male peg which you turn? thanks robert
All of my clear rods for SF and even in the Hi V have broken over time. I really want to find replacements or even metal rod so can paint over but still have not found anything that works well yet.
Hey Robert, I'm a big fan of your work, fantastic reviews! I have the MG Strike Freedom, and I love this kit. But, my strike freedom's wings are unfortunately broken. Is there anyway that I could just buy the wing plates? Appreciate the help!
I need a SEED MG and im debating between this (the normal ver) and the freedom, which ones wings are less fragile? Thats the thing im worried most about and is my decising factor
gonna have to clean and paint my FBM at one time... being on display outside too long has caused the white to become a bit gray due to the dirt. plus the gold parts really need to be painted just for it to shine. the dragoon effect parts, the moment I got them out, i knew at that moment that I must not follow the manual, they're obviously too weak to support the dragoon's weight... am so glad I didn't...
i've cut the stem of the effect parts pretty short as i've also notice that once you bend it the material gets very soft and eventually breaks. what i've done was to cut them short and just curve them a bit and works much better.
i ordered one but its not full burst so the gold is the dull one. if i wanted to paint the gold would i have to paint it everytime I cut out a part from the runner or what? I know spray painting the whole runner is a bad idea.
I have the Strike Freedom MG, didn't buy the Full Burst Mode cuz I felt it was the same thing. Was able to buy a Master Grade Super Gundam from 1998... Haha, now I know what you mean from you videos. Some of the directions are just confusing. I haven't started working on it as I'm still working on my Astray Blue Frame MG
It's not really if you are a beginner or not but rather if you are careful and have the right tools. If you have the right tools to cut off the parts and you follow instructions decently well then you should be able to build a MG as your first kit. I built PG Strike as my first kit, and he looks awesome. Though, I am personally a very careful person
@hoybrian well the gold is worth is with this one i have and u cant reall see a diff in the good gold and the normal as he said crapy gold and u get 2 stands with this one and the affect parts are fine if u bend them right
For some reason, my wings snapped at the joint when I went to rotate them upwards. I have no idea why this happened. I even took it apart and made sure it was put together properly. Now I have to super glue them in a static pose. fml.
Me too. Mine haven't snapped, but one of my wings started grinding out the notch that connects the two together, so I just glued them into a static pose as well.
Is there even a model of Strike Exia? If you've seen it from Prime92, she just customized it. There's no such model of a Strike Exia. If you want one, you need to buy a HG SF and Exia Repair II and combine them.
@xSkye629x i have both the freedom and strike freedom and really i think the strike freedoms wings are a bit better but there both solid its just u have to make sure u do the strike freedoms wings right and for the extra money im glad i got the full burst mode cuz the clear parts are fine if u just have them bent diff and the gold is worth it over the normal strike freedom but both the freedom and strike freedom are great so its really down of what one u want first and if u made a MG before
My non FBM version does the same wobbly dance on the base. I've never been able to get any of the more synamic poses without it toppling over. It's a nice kit though and one of my top ten favorite gunpla.
After seeing this review definitely gonna get myself a reg MG Streak Frydom (^.^) plus some Mr. Super Metallic gold and maybe 3rd party wing effect parts/decals (Lacus silhouette decals!), which in conjunction should "come across" as being better then this full burst kit. thanks, rrobbert! =)
so what have we learned from this review...... get the regular MG and just buy seperatlely a gold gundam marker, and a stand. it will still be cheaper than the full burst
@TheAnimeOverviewer Plot Armor a "good thing"? nah, that killed Destiny for me (aside from how they made Shinn a badguy to give Kira the spotlight again). I'll stick with a more realistic series like any U.C. gundam, or Wing
Strike Freedom Gundam Full Burst Mode is lacking compared to Destiny Gundam Full Burst Mode. It just seems more like cashing attempt than actual upgrade to orginal MG.
Looking at him completed, one of the major eye-sores to me is actually the yellow V-fin. With this version, painting it gold too would improve it for me. Those plastic rods holding up the funnels would be replaced asap with brass or copper stilts.
i really wish that they would have made a gundam seed movie with shine athran and kira fighting together it would have been so sweet
@TheAnimeOverviewer can't argue that Wing's attempt at making the pilots have a harder time disabling the Serpents in EW was FAR more realistic than the freedom/justice/insert other gundam name here just flying by and either hacking off the heads of other mobile suits in a flash or just beam spamming everything til it couldn't fight back.
like i said in the other video comments, you can fix the rods by cutting off about 2 cm off of each one and by adjusting the angles a little. i had it displayed like that for some time and the dragoons never pointed down and it looked very awesome^^
He looks kinda plain by today's standard. I hope they'll release a version 2.0 or RM.
The Metal Build looks SO good when compared to this. To bad it's a small fortune.
But that's the best part. It already looked ott with a golden frame, adding fin detailing (which is what the Strike-based suits have come down to) to it would be overkilll.
Yes! The reason I did not get the Full Burst Mode version is because I was not sold on the the clear plastic mounting "pipe" display system for the Dragoons.

@madar38
Extreme Blast is Destinys delux model. Full Burst is Strike Freedoms.
hi robert with regards to the wing section mechanism can i ask how it was assembled? the one with the male peg which hold the wings in full burst mode. is it the male peg which you turn? thanks robert
All of my clear rods for SF and even in the Hi V have broken over time. I really want to find replacements or even metal rod so can paint over but still have not found anything that works well yet.
@rrobbert184 what was the 2nd gold you used again?
Hey Robert, I'm a big fan of your work, fantastic reviews! I have the MG Strike Freedom, and I love this kit. But, my strike freedom's wings are unfortunately broken. Is there anyway that I could just buy the wing plates? Appreciate the help!
Hi robert i want to ask, u mention that used two different paint for matched the gold that bandai gave, so what brand of paint that used? thank u
So how does the Destiny Extreme Blast Mode stack up to this?
what kind of paint do tou use ? Tamia Paint ?
hi robert with regards to the wing section mechanism is there anyway to buy it if its broken?
I need a SEED MG and im debating between this (the normal ver) and the freedom, which ones wings are less fragile? Thats the thing im worried most about and is my decising factor
gonna have to clean and paint my FBM at one time... being on display outside too long has caused the white to become a bit gray due to the dirt. plus the gold parts really need to be painted just for it to shine.
the dragoon effect parts, the moment I got them out, i knew at that moment that I must not follow the manual, they're obviously too weak to support the dragoon's weight... am so glad I didn't...
i've cut the stem of the effect parts pretty short as i've also notice that once you bend it the material gets very soft and eventually breaks. what i've done was to cut them short and just curve them a bit and works much better.
Did you put top coat on that? because it shines not like the original version of this kit!
I also got the same issues with the action base and also the weight. Any idea how to fix this?
What Would be a good MS to start with for beginners???
Can the wings of the freedom attached to the S.freedom?
I'm thinking about buying a strike freedom, so it's better to just get the normal MG not this one right?
What is your rotating stand sir?
hey robert pls help its hard to connect the upper body and the lower body pls answer
i ordered one but its not full burst so the gold is the dull one. if i wanted to paint the gold would i have to paint it everytime I cut out a part from the runner or what? I know spray painting the whole runner is a bad idea.
what is the marker for ?
I Have Destiny EBM Should I Get This?
There you go talking about GvG...I heard that the Strike Freedom got a considerable upgrade for Extreme Vs.
I have the regular MG S.Freedom and I never display it with the dragoons deployed
I think you did something wrong with your clear part because when i bend my clear part for the dragoon nothing happened and there is no weight issues
Is there a stand that comes with it ?
good job with the gold touch up on the elbow
I have the Strike Freedom MG, didn't buy the Full Burst Mode cuz I felt it was the same thing. Was able to buy a Master Grade Super Gundam from 1998... Haha, now I know what you mean from you videos. Some of the directions are just confusing. I haven't started working on it as I'm still working on my Astray Blue Frame MG
So the extra base and flying DRAGOON effects are not really worth it? I'll just grab the Regular SF and get a Gold Gundam Marker!
It's not really if you are a beginner or not but rather if you are careful and have the right tools.
If you have the right tools to cut off the parts and you follow instructions decently well then you should be able to build a MG as your first kit.
I built PG Strike as my first kit, and he looks awesome.
Though, I am personally a very careful person
man that Gundam sure looks impressive like it rely like it , like how much does this kit cost dude??
nice review man thumps up
@hoybrian well the gold is worth is with this one i have and u cant reall see a diff in the good gold and the normal as he said crapy gold and u get 2 stands with this one and the affect parts are fine if u bend them right
@KenSimon03 Full Blast Mode ?
I thought it was extrem blast mode xD
Who is in favor of a 2.0 say I
I for a 2.5
5.0 plez
For some reason, my wings snapped at the joint when I went to rotate them upwards. I have no idea why this happened. I even took it apart and made sure it was put together properly. Now I have to super glue them in a static pose. fml.
Me too. Mine haven't snapped, but one of my wings started grinding out the notch that connects the two together, so I just glued them into a static pose as well.
very awesome and very detailed.. unlike my full burst mode.. makes me wanna throw my model to the bin after seeing this..
Is there even a model of Strike Exia? If you've seen it from Prime92, she just customized it.
There's no such model of a Strike Exia. If you want one, you need to buy a HG SF and Exia Repair II and combine them.
Street Freedom?
Streek Fridom?
@Mecha82 actually it's Destiny Gundam Full Blast Mode :)
Very good looking MG Streek Frydome! XD
watch stryderprime's strike freedom build, maybe you can follow his tips on how to fix those effect thingys for the dragoons
i want this with the conversion parts sadly my local retailers non of them have it
Should I buy this or the MG Destiny Extreme Blast Mode?
cosmicaler destiny extreme blast mode
Hey i know how u can make the clear piecces stay up u get a paper clip or something like that ans glue it to the clear piecce and it will stay up
How mush ? i want buy :P
@darkdagger955 well depends on what gundams u like
@OcarinaOfTime554 just a bit off a mistake on his part Dx
@carlosbd The regular already comes with a stand...
street fry?
@madar38 oh. thanks :) sori for the mistake
とても良い！
スタイル抜群のストライクフリーダムガンダムでした
@mechaman13 the wings of course the wings of light can stack it up
@xSkye629x i have both the freedom and strike freedom and really i think the strike freedoms wings are a bit better but there both solid its just u have to make sure u do the strike freedoms wings right and for the extra money im glad i got the full burst mode cuz the clear parts are fine if u just have them bent diff and the gold is worth it over the normal strike freedom but both the freedom and strike freedom are great so its really down of what one u want first and if u made a MG before
@TheAnimeOverviewer Zabanya unfortunately lacked one thing: Plot Armor.
the dragoons work better if u dont bend the plastic rod at all and if ur lucky the weight will get them in the right position
I would recommend the MG Destiny EBM cause it has a lot more special things that makes it better then the MG Strike Freedom FBM
@BladeRave don't forget 00 too....
My non FBM version does the same wobbly dance on the base. I've never been able to get any of the more synamic poses without it toppling over. It's a nice kit though and one of my top ten favorite gunpla.
Might get this MG but it's regular version. Maybe I'd just "spam" that with gold spray paint and gloss coat.
banya?
you should review the mg destiny extreme blast mode. its really amazing
So, it has balance issue...
Just like Freedom...
streak frydom that should be in the new remaster
After seeing this review definitely gonna get myself a reg MG Streak Frydom (^.^) plus some Mr. Super Metallic gold and maybe 3rd party wing effect parts/decals (Lacus silhouette decals!), which in conjunction should "come across" as being better then this full burst kit.
thanks, rrobbert! =)
HBD Setsuna F.Seiei
@BladeRave I'd hardly call Wing realistic. More realistic than Seed, but not that realistic.
@BladeRave Oh yeah definitely.
i really want to get one of these, but im scared ill mess up on the model. Can someone tell me if its hard or confusing for begginers?
hey rrobbert are you watch your own video??if yes..are you LOL or something when edit it??
Streak Fried-'em
Sword Strike is still my favorite Seed suit...
i love the strike freedom
i messed up on the wing mechanism when i built this :(
i just finish watch gundam 00 movie again...it's always make mee chili at the final battle..
my dream model kit, then the PG..
rrobbert you say "in centra " alot/...what is that mean
@rlrg808 i agree with you. my dragoon effect is fine also.
@hoybrian Yep.
Man, I thought that annoying problem with the legs was just my kit. :(
Is it just me or the arms look a bit too big compared to the body?
the most powerful gundam in seed destiny..........STREAK FRIDOM!!!!
so what have we learned from this review...... get the regular MG and just buy seperatlely a gold gundam marker, and a stand. it will still be cheaper than the full burst
@OcarinaOfTime554 Streek(or "Streak) Fridom: Strike Freedom with ALL of it's inner frame exposed, to flash it's enemies in an inappropriate manner. XD
Man i miss rrobert 😔
@TheAnimeOverviewer Plot Armor a "good thing"? nah, that killed Destiny for me (aside from how they made Shinn a badguy to give Kira the spotlight again). I'll stick with a more realistic series like any U.C. gundam, or Wing
cool man i.would buy that
STREAK FRYDOM!! 8D
Sorry rrobbert, but you aren't selling me on a Jesus McBeamspam Gundam.
Strike Freedom Gundam Full Burst Mode is lacking compared to Destiny Gundam Full Burst Mode. It just seems more like cashing attempt than actual upgrade to orginal MG.
Destiny had silver parts which looked pretty good to me
Yeah....robert i've got the MG streek frikedom
@plumpywing Strike Freedom*
2020 still..
